Anaswara Kamuki, the Eternal Lover
Video Song & Dance at
One of the Greatest Exemplars,
Of the Immortal, Eternal Lovers,
Is Mother Parvathy, alias Prakriti,
Pining for Union with Purusha, her Lord
!
This Cosmic Romance, this Celestal
Dalliance,
Is the main theme of the Master Poet.
Kalidasa.
The Statue of the Divine Mother
meditating,
Has been defined as a beauteous,
musical Sculpure !
Amongst the famous daughters of the
Bard,
This is the best symbol of Love Eternal
!
Kalidasante Priya Nandinimaril,
Kamaneeya Sangeeta Nrithya Silpam !
Thou art the Eternal Lover,
Who sacrifced everything for the Greatest !
Anugraha Hridaya Devanu vendi,
Anaswarayayoru Kamuki Nee !
One of the greatest poems,
Birth of the Prince, Kumara Sambhava,
Was born, after this Divine Marriage,
In the Moonlight which rained flowers !
Parvathy Swayamvaram kazhinka raavil.
Pushpa mazhathookum Vasantha Nilavil
Oru Deva Tapaswini Dhanyayai nilkum,
Kumara Sambhava Kavyam Unarnoo !
Ignoring Day and Night,
And attired in deerskin,
Chanting Siva's Maha Mantra,
Thou meditated to Transcendence !
Manjilum Mazhayilum Thozhuthu Ninnoo
Nee,
Pon Thamara Poo Makulam Pole !
Vara Thingal Kala Choodum Priya
Kamukane,
Varal Manjal Kuri thottu Kathirunnu !
Braving snows and rains,
Thou meditated to Glory !
With the turmeric mark as symbol,
Thou waited for the Crescent Wearer !
He came, disguised as a mendicant,
To test thee wuth His trials and
tribulations !
Api swashaktya tapasi Pravartate,
Shareeram Adyam Khalu Dharma Sadhanam
!
Why torture thy body, the Lord asked,
Instead of resting, thou art meditating
!
Hasnt the Body been given priority,
In the tripod of Body, Mind & Self
!
Kalidasa had voiced,
One of the greetest statements !
Without the body, no Self Actualisation,
Hence the Body deserves priority !
Same opinion was voiced by Chanakya,
That Artha is the basis of Purusharthas
Four !
Artha eva pradhana iti Kautilya,
Artha moolau hi Dharma Kamaviti !
Kalidasa was hailed as one of the
greatest,
By Germany's illustrious poet, Goethe.
Goethe glimpsed the absoluteness of
Poetry,
In Shakntala, one of Kalidasa's works !
Aiswaryam yadi vanchasi priyathame,
Shakuntalm Drishyatam
If there is an integration of Heaven
and Earth,
It is here ! It is here !
A Tribute Glorious
Only a genius poet can appreciate another, Su
Kaveer Sabda Soubhagyam Sat Kaveer vetti na para, averred Kalidasa,
Reminiscent of Longfellow's tribute to Dante
" A mendicant, he ate the biiter bread of
others,
But repaid their meagre gifts, with Immortality
!"
Or Tagore's tribute to Aurobindo
" Rabindranath, O Aurobindo, bows to
thee"
was Changampuzha's tribute to Kalidasa !
The world was stunned, as thou planted the Victory
Flag,
With Fame immortal, O Poet Universal !
Coming to thy feet are compliments galore
From a galaxy of intellectuals high !
Vismayamakave Viswa Maha Kave
Vikhyati kondu Jayakkodi Natti Nee !
Agamikkunnu ha Nin kalkal ippozhum,
Lokapratibhathan Kooppu kai mottukal !
